E.U.R.

The Square Colosseum echoes the dreamlike, suspended atmosphere already evoked in the previous video, offering a surreal vision of the years of World War II, as filtered through the mind of someone who did not experience them but imagines them through fragments of collective memory and iconography. The landscape is empty, metaphysical, dominated by the monumental architecture of the EUR. In this silent setting, a solitary pickup truck moves, a tribute to Mario Sironi—a painter and sculptor close to the fascist regime—whose severe urban imagery profoundly marked the aesthetics of the twenty-year period. The truck, almost an apparition, glides into a rarefied space where history, propaganda, and dreams merge.
Even today, in the Italian collective imagination, that past remains unresolved, suspended between repression and disturbing fascination.
